ST3 on the dyno?
The problem is that the ECU doesn't let the boost rise over 0.2bar on the rollers. Tried to remove ABS and ESP fuses but it didn't work. The is equipped with Bluefin and Piper catback system. Does someone have any ideas? Local Ford dealer doesn't know why the car is acting like this on the rollers. The car is working just fine on the road.

its because its running 2 hot on the dyno and not simualating real life driving on the open road the best thing 2 do is 2 buy the radtec intercooler and that solves the problem!!!

When this is done you will be able to run the car as normal it is important you let the car cool as the intercooler is very small and ACTs get high on the rolling road
